Winter Bouquets Have you been wishing that you could save some of the bea utiful colored leaves and grass-: es that we see along the road sides those fall days You canj your family's enjoyment this winter by following these simple slatinsky is connected with a directions. j uroe printing plant at St. Char- J Collect a variety of plant maples. tcrials from the roadsides and! fields. Look for interesting sha pes, lines and textures in gras ses, rose hips, yucca stalks, mull, in, dock, corn tassels, gra ins and other seed pods and berries. Some plant materials ke-op best if they are tied in bunches and hung suspended in a dark dis place for about 2 weeks or until they are thoroughly dried. Ferns, grasses and flowers ! may be dried by placing be-: newspaper with board and other; weights over them. The paper' may need to be changed sever-! al times before thev stop ab-; sorbing moisture. This takes 1 several weeks. 1 Use a 50 per cent glycerine ! and water solution for leaves. Put them in solution as soon as they are picked. It takes from 2 to 3 weeks for them to absorb as much of the solu tion as they can. Wipe leaves with an oiled cloth to keep them from curling. Another sugges tion is to rub a warm iron with paraffin and then lighly press the leaves. Use of shellac on seeds and. pods such as milkweed will keep them from splitting and open ing. Plastic spray may be used to "fix" pods. Prick gourds with a large ne edle so they can dry out. ! It is not necessary to color - ,lant materials for arrange- ments. The soft muted natural coiors snow on me line details of line, shape or texture. If the plant material is colored, it should be done with restraint. Shellac is often used before painting over a porous pod so that it will not absorb so much paint. Oil paints may bp used with good results. Either dip the entire nod, spray or apply i with a soft brush. Show card paint, bronze powders or liquid may be used. Standard dyes can be used to stain dry grasses or flower spikes of a feath er nature. Nancy Sutton, Home Extension Agent.
